Intimidation Clothing is pleased to announce its continued sponsorship of veteran fighter “Big” John Hawk, as he prepares to face rising MMA star Curt Lemmon (4-0) in a heavyweight title bout at the upcoming NAAFS: Caged Vengeance 16 event on March 7th Canton, Ohio.

Hawk (10-5) continues his run in his return to heavyweight, as his victory over William Penn in March 2014 was the first fight for the former NAAFS heavyweight champ in the division since 2010. He then followed up that win with a victory over Bobby Brents at NAAFS: Rock ‘N Rumble 8 last October. Hawk has become known as one of the most durable fighters in the sport, including racking up a 2-1 win under the Bellator MMA banner with an upset win over Marcus Vanttinen at Bellator 66 highlighting his time in the organization.

Hawk will look to become the NAAFS heavyweight champion for the second time, as he won the title with a victory over Joe McCall in 2010 before dropping to light heavyweight. The title was then won by and later vacated by Intimidation alum Stipe Miocic when he signed with the UFC in 2011.

Hawk is a fan favorite in Northeast Ohio and comes in looking for his fifth win in seven outings. Known for his willingness to fight anybody at any time, Hawk is an outspoken member of the Strong Style Fight Team in Northeast Ohio, which is an official Intimidation Clothing dealer.

Hawk has not one but two signature t-shirts from Intimidation, including the original gray and an updated red signature shirt that was released in June. It was one of the most popular items at the Intimidation booth at the Fight Nite in the Flats 10 event in Cleveland last June, and Hawk wasn’t even competing on the card.

Intimidation alums Isaiah “The Beast” Chapman and Antonio Castillo Jr. were also expected to be in action at the March 7th event, fighting for the NAAFS bantamweight title. UFC veteran Branden Hinkle will also be in action on the same night, as he will be competing in a boxing event in West Virginia while another long-time Intimidation alum Dan Spohn will be fighting on Friday night in Columbus, Ohio.

March 1st marked one of the biggest days in Intimidation Clothing history, with three events sponsored in three different states and multiple fighters also representing the brand in action. Sponsoring two of the most successful and respected Local MMA promotions in the Midwest, Colosseum Combat MMA in Indiana and Driven MMA (powered by the NAAFS) in Ohio, the Intimidation brand was once again the most visible supporter of Local MMA in the region.

The Intimidation crew was on hand at the inaugural Driven MMA event in Canton, Ohio, where fans flocked to the official booth all night while sponsored fighters went 5-2 inside the cage. The all professional event featured 12 bouts, including victories by the likes of Team Intimidaton’s “Big” John Hawk, Jessica “The Zombie” Zomcik, Isaiah “The Beast” Chapman, George “Bonesaw” Comer and Kyle “Kyote” Rozewski. In addition, five Intimidation alums fought on the card with Tony Castillo, Jr., Maxim Grishin, Reggie Parks and Wes Hanson all picking up wins.

Hawk picked up a victory in his first appearance at heavyweight since 2011, as the 3-time Bellator MMA veteran moved to 9-5 overall with a unanimous decision win over fellow Intimidation sponsored heavyweight William “King” Penn (7-4). One of two fighters with his Intimidation signature tee on sale at the event, Hawk is a mainstay with Team Intimidation as a product of Strong Style in MMA.

Zomcik – who sported the “I ♥ #WMMA” tee on her way to the cage – was successful in her pro debut, as the Evolve MMA product picked up where she left off in her amateur career with a 5th straight win overall since switching camps to Evolve MMA. Zomcik (pictured, right) completed her 9-3 amateur MMA career by winning the Tuff-N-Uff Women’s 145lb Tournament in November and is starting to be seen nationally as one of the top prospects in Women’s MMA.

Chapman (pictured, left) made his return to the cage in nearly a year after an injury, and picked up a unanimous decision over Charles Stanford (4-2) to move to 5-1 overall. With his Intimidation signature tee on display and for sale throughout the night, Chapman, a long-time member of Team Intimidation, got back on track after ending his amateur career at 12-1 and starting his pro career at 4-0.

Comer continued his run as the most consistent lightweight in Ohio, as he moved to 4-1 overall with a dominant 3-round submission victory over Anthony Morgan (3-1). After a 9-0 amateur career saw Comer struggle to finish his opponents, it is apparent that his training at GriffonRawl MMA is paying off as he scored his third finish in four pro wins.

Meanwhile, at the sponsored Colosseum Combat XXVIII event in Kokomo, Indiana, sponsored fighter Robert “The Destroyer” Morrow (13-15) successfully defended his light heavyweight title, as he moved to 7-3 in his last 10 fights with a first round TKO victory over Keith Smetana. The win earned him the “Performance of the Night” honors from BluegrassMMA, who were there covering the event. While Intimidation planned to have multiple others fighters sponsored at the event, between injuries and no-show opponents, Morrow was the lone fighter sponsored on the night.

Driven MMA, a partner of the Intimidation-sponsored NAAFS, aspires to be the world’s preeminent feeder league for UFC – and the world’s most forward thinking digital fight company.

The fight card is one of the best in the Buckeye State in years, with multiple big show veterans and up-and-coming prospects littering the card. In the main event, former Bellator MMA tournament finalist Dan Hornbuckle (20-7) will take on Cincinnati product and Strikeforce/Bellator MMA veteran Dom Steele (10-4). UFC veteran Rodney Wallace (19-7-1) looks to give Intimidation-sponsored Strong Style MMA product Maxim Grishin (14-6) his toughest test to date, as the two light heavyweights will serve as the night’s co-main event.

The card also features a host of Team Intimidation fighters, including rising featherweight Kyle “Kyote” Rozewski, former NAAFS heavyweight champion and Bellator MMA vet “Big” John Hawk, Bellator MMA veteran William Penn, pro debuting top-ranked amateur female Jessica “The Zombie” Zomcik, top bantamweight prospect Isaiah “The Beast” Chapman, veteran lightweight George “Bonesaw” Comer and featherweight Dustin Kempf, and Grishin, one of the top rising light heavyweight prospects in the sport.

Intimidation Clothing is pleased to announce its sponsorship of Bellator MMA veteran William Penn in his upcoming heavyweight bout at the inaugural Driven MMA event on March 1 in Canton, Ohio. Penn (7-3) is set to take on fellow Team Intimidation member and former NAAFS heavyweight champ John Hawk (8-5) in one of the night’s most anticipated bouts.

Intimidation has long been a supporter of Indiana’s Penn, who comes in riding a 4-fight winning streak. Although he has won his last 4 bouts, the Detroit native hasn’t competed since earning a first round TKO over Strikeforce veteran Jason Riley at NFC 7 in June 2012. Since then, his luck has been terrible as he has had multiple bouts cancelled. Penn also holds a knockout victory over UFC veteran Josh Hendricks, and his losses all came to notable opponents: current UFC star Stipe Miocic, former Sambo world champion Blagoi Ivanov, and tough veteran Raymond Lopez in his pro debut.

Penn will be one of a host of fighters sporting the Intimidation brand during the Driven MMA event, including Kyle Rozewski, John Hawk, Maxim Grishin, Jessica Zomcik, Isaiah Chapman, George Comer, and Dustin Kempf. Intimidation will also serve as a title sponsor for the event and will be on hand selling its popular brand of t-shirts, hats, hoodies, fight shorts, and more.

“I’m excited to fight for UVC again, especially at the Aladdin Shrine right here in Buckeye Country,” Spohn said in a recent UVC press release. “I’m actually happy about fighting at heavyweight. It will take a lot of the stress of cutting weight off. I’m a large 205 so this should be fun!”

The Intimidation brand was out in full force over the weekend sponsoring fighters in Minnesota, Ohio and West Virginia and had yet another great weekend. In addition to selling at Bellator 71 in Chester, West Virginia, at an event that featured several local fighters and the opening round of the Summer Series 2012 Light Heavyweight Tournament, Intimidation representatives were also on hand at NFC 7: Field of Fury in Carroll, Ohio talking to many of the top MMA related businesses from the Columbus/Central Ohio area. Once the dust settled the weekend proved to be a highly successful one with new sponsorships and additional dealers expected to come from the events.

On Friday night at Bellator 71 the Intimidation brand had five fighters scheduled to be sponsored but after John Hawk’s fight was cancelled just four stepped into the Bellator cage. The big winner on the night was Josh “The Sandman” Stansbury who submitted Dan Spohn in the first round to win the NAAFS Light Heavyweight title in his Bellator debut. Now 4-2, Stansbury is riding high with four straight wins and some new hardware.

On Saturday night at NFC 7 in Carroll, Ohio, the main event featured William “The King” Penn (pictured, right) in yet another impressive performance as he scored a TKO win over Jason Riley.
